If that was possible then the developers here in xda would ported many
of the Touchwiz's features into the CM/AOSP/AOKP/GE roms.
Good luck trying!

Yeah I understand. But there are flash able zip around the forum for different touchwizs that work with cm or aosp rom. The only problem is that they don't work with the s4 roms. Anyways, thanks for the reply

Understand that Touchwiz isn't simply an app. Touchwiz IS the rom that comes stock with Samsung devices.
You can't extract it and install it in other roms because it IS a rom.
It would be the same as trying to install CyanogenMod into TouchWiz.
Now, if you are talking about trying to install the elements of Touchwiz like the gesture stuff and eyeball tracking and what not...no. Those aren't portable into AOSP based ROMs. Theoretically those elements could be ported, but the developers who would have to put in hours and hours of work to reverse engineer them and figure out how to port them largely consider those features to be hokey gimmicks that aren't worth the time to mess with. So there are no plans to move those elements to AOSP ROMs (Wifi calling being the lone exception. Everyone wants that ported. Lots of people have tried to mess with it. So far it's not been successful.)

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I sound demanding. I really appreciate the response. So no way to get the launcher itself and not the sensors or gestures?

The launcher that comes with TouchWiz? There's nothing super special about it. There are a dozen other launchers on Google Play that do more.

Yeah I like the fluidity and animations though. Is it possible to port that for me? Just the launcher

The fluidity that you seek is there on all other launchers. That's the phone's hardware mixed with Android's Project Butter, which is an increased frame rate native to the system that makes everything suiper smooth. It has nothing to do with the TouchWiz launcher.
As for animations, just about all other launghers have those same snimations and more.
But if you're REALLY set on trying it....

stock 4.2 apps on XXDLL7

Hello,
I'm running Omega 10 rom and I was wondering if it is possible to have stock android 4.2 apps like dialer, people, messaging, clock,calculator,camera, and gallery without having to flash AOSP rom? In addition I would love a notification panel and lockscreen android 4.2 like or normal jellybean one.
Many thanks!

Look in the at&t section for MyRom by almino. He has a gapps package with the camera gallery and calendar, maybe some other things. Photosphere works at least

Get a rom which features what you want.
Jellybam does. I think.

I know but I want to stay in a TW based ROM due to S-Pen functionality and better overall Camera. Thanks anyway mate

Look for a firmware. Jellybam was one of them.
There should be more.

[REQ] AOSP People App

I have been looking around for this and have found places that have the pretty much every other AOSP app up for download except this one. I am using a Stock based rom and I want to use the AOSP People app because it's a billion times better than the TW Contacts app.
Might anyone know where I can get this?
Rob
You haven't seen it because it won't work. Framework differences. If you don't believe Mr and want to try I will upload one for you and you can try

Thanks. I thought maybe since a lot of the other AOSP apps were ported over that this one would be too. Damn, i love the People contacts app. You don't have to post the app unless you think someone else can use it
Yeah only I don't know the word for it but maybe "material "apps like the camera and clock that arent actually necessary and it won't work because Samsung has for proprietary framework thanks reason we can't you Samsung camera on aosp ROMs sorry about that man but for future reference you can extract any of the APKs you want right out of any aosp ROM using root or solid explorer
Oh yeah must of the time there are libs to go with those FYI in case you go experimenting

[REQ] Samsung based CM10/CM10.1 ROM

Hi guys,
I saw the MIUI team have ported there ROM and kept all the Touchwiz features such as the SPEN while still adding all the MIUI customisation options by using a Touchwiz Base. I was wondering if this would be possible with CM10? Or AOKP? Well, something AOSP based. I know there are look a likes but to be honest none really are all that great in my opinion. CM10/.1 has SOOOO many awesome features. The themes chooser sor instants.
I think this would be insane. Im not a developer, but i'd be willing to do everything I can to make this possible! - If it is possible ...
So anyone up for it?
Cheers
that MIUI was based on TW ... no S features will be ever available on AOSP
I don't think it's as straightforward as the Samsung framework enables those features like split-window and Samsung-specific apps. Having said that, there are third-party options to enable some of the functionality. Note that even in default CM10.1, S-Pen itself works fine, air hover, button, and so on.

Fair enough, but it still has MIUI features? So why cant the same be done for CM10?

Because the whole point of CM is being AOSP+ more features.

Cm10.1 is 4.2.1 based
Miui is 4.1.2 that too tw based.
First of all s pen functions require libraries which aren't cross compatible.
So the libraries can't be used with 4.2.1
There is no cm10 for note 2.
Only Cm10.1

There is CM10 for Note 2. Although discontinued. Probably should get your facts straight eh?
Right, so why isn't it possible to make a Cm10, touchwiz 4.1.2 based rom if its been done with MIUI?

And?
Miui is touchwiz based.
If you remove touchwiz framework you get cm. Not to mention you will add Google framework.
But without touchwiz framework snote libs won't work.
So no s note.
Cm 10 is nothing but Google framework based rom to be accurate. It doesn't means cm team didn't so much. I am saying in context to this thread.
Either Google framework or Samsung framework.
That is either no s note or s note.
Miui is samsung based.
Other than thar Samsung based rom might be themed enough to look like cm10 but it isn't aosp.
It would require super expert level modding or samsung or google level devs to do that.
Samsung devs know best how they work.
So they are probably the one who can do that.

BUT MIUI did it ... MIUI wasn't originally touchwiz based. So I cant dsee why someone couldn't do the same thing with CM.
Miui was made with touchwiz launcher for note 2.

You're just really not helping are you?
I am just telling you that is not possible...
You can check N7100 forums as well...
No such roms...
2 years I guess and not a single rom of this type....
I think that explains it.
I am not sure but maybe 4.1.2 based aosp with s note might be possible.

Stock TW theming

Ever since I switched from my Nokia S60 phones to my Samsung Android phone I've been looking for ways to theme my UI. This got me into flashing. But with every ROM I try, I keep going back to stock since it's more stable and I like the stock Calendar, browser, etc.
I keep reading on this forum that it is possible to modify UI elements by editing the systemui.apk, so theoretically it seems like it should be possible to create a theming engine for the stock ROM. Is it possible?
